in rising for the Pledge of Allegiance Nala vice Jack mind to come up and lead us
in the Pledge Come on up Jack. Leave it

nation. Indivisible with liberty and.
Good evening everyone it's nice to have everyone here after public audience I'm
going to ask the board to amend the agenda for presentation for Bike Month and our
a bike advocates are here today I want to thank them for coming on with that we
will begin with public audience and Per our rules adopted in December two thousand
and thirteen our members of the audience have five minutes to speak on any topic
they would like we did not apply the rules or Robert Robert's Rules of Order during
public audience so you may speak freely is there anyone who would like to speak
before the Board of Selectmen discuss programs like for you that I received
a lot of positive feedback on my campaign for selection as
a four year residence and since very long history of making
a difference I would like to continue making since very notable an executive role
as a petitioning candidate I would like to revive the child to give since very
a town manager with professional management and long term planning of the school
sponsored nearly convening
a charmer vision the commission should be this for its number one priority I am
concerned that the town is spending too much money in time on trying to place
a senior center of the performing arts and into better than
a private organization and not the seniors
a great cost to the taxpayers there are too many environmental challenges that
combined use is not compatible with concerts and seniors the senior center should
be located at you know Hall. I recently noticed at the door. Of the
pseudo Talmadge a town called the science will both be both
a nonprofit organization with conflict with the executive director now serves on
the boy Tom Cook as used his office to mold the bosy choral group except. Very high
school Concord stated in
a current doco and I quote Cooke said he has been in talks with since VERY high
school choral teacher Colleen Thompson about doing
a workshop with the choral students and quote Why is time Kokomo devotion
a company time how much time is spent on his laptop computer in his office
promoting botia he is paid one hundred thirty four thousand five hundred eight
dollars to be director of administrative services in the selections office not
superintendent of schools I would urge this board to bring my concerns to the
ethics board for any violations for promoting both feet during office hours and
advertising to the group out on his office door. At every meeting we had first
selectman least even stating that we have
a transparent government but the clerks were told to reduce the content in the
minutes lessening historical background one of the popular see first light releases
evening continues to interrupt speeches
a public all of the hits telling them to finish this sentence and her office is
this open government recently Endo is than the rental ads of the cockpit covered
enough bombs was advertising for applications to do with three bedroom apartments
it stated the red star one million one thousand one hundred twenty three dollars
a month says this development is below and very low income people why the rent so
high these rents are incompatible Diena trust of the four Simsbury is
a town where the rents are so high over the years the town is neglected its right
to oversee the use of the complex with allegations of fraud and embezzlement in
keeping with the trust quote for the poor since various quote I urge this board
review the rebel structure to comply with the law in very low income rentals and.
Recently
a problem works employee was terminated now after the terminations was determined
that yes the section of the keys to town buildings after
a lengthy search the keys were found in his locker of the buildings compromised
where the controls the town buildings where the controls the town on property used
by. Employee's keys went missing the town build public buildings and Key is
a miss in the town safe deposit boxes is this professional government does the town
have an inventory of all town property what else is missing recently the carpet for
that first let me Lisa Heenan state representative John Hampton spoke to the Erie
concerning C L N T F A sauce closing the facility in Simsbury all the time spent
opposing the closure is
a waste of time since the company is looking at their bottom line not ours this
flurry of activity from have represented political posturing that will end with the
facility closing as in the post office in terrible in this article state
representative John Hampton state is concerned about the loss of tax revenue to the
dam. Is interesting to know that John Hampton does not pay any taxes in the town it
came to my attention that there were two suicides in town by hanging and
a person was arrested for heroin use of the syringe and is caught three juveniles
were arrested the little law violation students as I am asked Center at the crack
School of Continuing to leave the building having police officers trying to find
them throughout the town why can't crack have security at the facility according to
Tampa I was the leader of the walk the skull schools all the last possible lead to
the town incident very one million one hundred thousand according to town records
forty one point eight one to use as
a market value of three hundred forty two thousand and four twenty four why the
seven hundred fifty seven thousand five seventy six discrepancy did the town over
paid the bill am. Wait until the end of it at the walk to school make
a contribution to the town and look taxes now we're being asked to pay another
thirty three thousand consultancy services to the elite at the walk us open space
and another two hundred thousand to the elite that will walk or improvements to the
open space open space should remain open why the cost for improvement is the town
conserving the property or destroying human spirit that was five and I mean I can
recount I think and I quote She grabbed her strap. Firearms are down to December
thirteenth two thousand and thirteen also and also how you're out of order and
you're being rude please stop thinking and lead on this classroom get rid of
bicycle at the calving miscount Thank God there are not just like to speak of
public audience mystic Ousmane. Might do more for
a while I'm going to address you see Iraq. I know it's the
first thing I'd like to bring your attention I probably would have no heart for it
correct asking citizens of Sunni Kurd and rough around the edges Monday to the
both know and the reason for that the road over the war will condition they
better than the poor both condition and not one thing that's been done about it I
guess time and time again for street lights there's no shriek like one time we went
to up
a dog and pony show here where you wanted to study the study to street lights and
nobody ever came back with
a report and now we go to the sidewalk we don't have any sidewalks and yet you tell
everybody you would all if you could be lowering the taxes and I like to do is I
like to point out here's the bush tell you to vote no one and raise Don't tell me
to vote no we're doing study after study after study some people call it
a shipwreck dollar after dollar after dollar and Bush getting that money and I'm
willing to bet that the way that it works in politics if you give money for study
and round about money goes he did Republican or the Democratic Party and I don't
have time to research it and the other thing the other thing I want to address is.
The veterans issue no need for
a right question yes you'll let me show you my credentials since. You have to do
dog tags. And if you know. That's how we spent my life in the UK.
But what I'd like to. I look at this monument.
In this town can afford fifty dollars or one hundred dollars to donate to that
monument. Out of
a cash farm there's something wrong with the town you had ninety five dollars and I
can show it Jack. Ninety five dollars you gave to the chairman of the
Economic Development Commission happens to be a Democrat to attend the S.T.C.
. When he went S.P.
She was the commissioner of environmental protection for the state of Connecticut
to attend the function of political function at the butcher and the town paid
ninety five dollars it took
a while for me to get the information but I got the information and there was
a check given to the chairman of the Economic Development Commission for ninety
five dollars. Now you have money for that. You also have money.
Thank. You know
here. You have Mike there's
a rumor around that you have
a tax abatement for Ensign pick for DI noble for one hundred thousand dollars if
you can get it done and over one hundred thousand dollars tax abatement you can go
and give ninety five or fifty dollars that cringe
a minute that's what I Westminister school I get asked about it time and time again
still have not received a reply I just have to do either write
a letter or go over and see Mr Phillips and see why that portion of that one
hundred fourteen thousand dollars of fortune was never given to the mine.
Now. You know in another thing I'd like to cover the department
heads and the town of cinder your department all of the garbage were all given an
increase anywhere from five thousand to ten and I understand that Mr
are
a ministry of leader in town was given ten to twenty thousand dollar increase personnel
or I did that we. And in closing. You knew
your role on being taken advantage of you know that you know in the audience here
are all of your online years I see my friend Mr Mason I'm looking around it's all
rounders except for the voice. And the only thing I like to leave and last time I
was interrupted when I tried to finish it but let me have maybe I can finish it
today and this is a letter written by Debbie O'Brien
a citizen assuming very mystic option about twenty seconds just
a senator Yeah well I will be able to read it again but maybe next meeting the
minute she claims that she was she plays aggressive taxes and the faction should be
much lower ninth grade where we should have
a much lower taxes working thank you to the queen thank you thank you Mr COUCH when
to say anyone else would like to speak
a public audience Mr Mason. Nick
Mason secretary Drew. If there is way very. Near on behalf of the
chamber. We have
a number of events coming up very soon one of them's tomorrow morning it says good
morning Simsbury it's basically if she has to do

as long as I can remember it is on May twenty eighth from eleven thirty one thirty
to the hot metal country club and tickets are available on the sims green chamber
website that you know of since pretty C O C Were. You interested.
Because of the switch hats here
a little bit I think later on in your agenda year that up on talk about floor ratio
or asking the earth the waiver for two hundred ninety dollars and we'll be amending
the agenda to get it done but you don't speak to right now and then lastly I'd like
to echo Mr Californians
a suggestion the. You coming out of people trying to respond to that remark No Mr
Cashman things don't interrupt Mr Mason That's an attack I stand united I like.
This to caution this is not
a debate away and you are you have yet to get your interest please address comments
to the border so accurately cheerfully and if you can members of the audience are
experienced back so I bought
a calendar now worser thank you what I would like to do is encourage the residents
of cities were either. Eligible voters come out of May fifth vote in the
referendum to have
a budget number of different initiatives that are of the ballot that all of the
polls or all of it Henry James. Six in the morning till even. The so that.
You can vote on this whether you agree with or disagree with the various budgets
thank you for your thank you is there anyone else you'd like to speak
a public audience OK seeing. Reference to the state. Yet
Tuesday May fifth. Two to stay may have to. Give the first selectman
presentations I will request a motion to amend the agenda to include
a presentation by the bike friendly people for Bike Month and so moved by us all in
favor I With that we will go to the bike presentation Patty Jacobus and. Than I
And Deb the bit over here thank you for your efforts on
a lighter note. It's probably this.
Little he doesn't want us to have to still.
Go ahead OK The first thing I like to do is they were signing
a proclamation that maybe would be my mom who did that on her Facebook page and
what we really appreciated probably she goes on to talk about really reasons why
adopting
a bicycle friendly community service attitude and culture is healthy for communities
and just to have two different words into three percent for us. Likely to bristle
at you for amending the agenda to include us Revenger
a couple times and for the board we are declaring it made by month and this year
we're going to talk about the calendar which is and has the surrounding counties
that's just pages of our calendar. And we're going to talk about some of the
Congress to give it to them but I think if you see my calendar is from the last few
years is
a significant change this year and that is because we really are working to encourage
new bikers and children and also get you to return to my school so when you look at
the calendar you look at
a lot of the rides their own there you see Old lot of slow easy scenic rides you
sure you walk which is
a writing call has several. Bike rides several times during the week that will go
through the entire summer and they'll have leaders on those rides so you'll learn
a lot of tips and tricks for operating safely Also we're focusing on safety
obviously on
a tight disability probably right you feel. It and you know the trails we're
looking at
a lot of that in the schools and the clever education classes. Also And. The
U.S. Duties Secretary Anthony Foxx is put together
a challenge to some black men and mayors across the country to start working toward
making all over these are the urban or suburban safer for bikers and walkers just
because an enormous increase the number of bikers and walkers which are the people
on bikes and
a lot of accidents so Tom right is sort of picked up the responsibility for that
will be issued
a press release on the city's very accepting that challenge and really no different
than what we've been doing proving this infrastructure as part of our routine make
goods and whatnot and doing T. Part of the of G.
Is actually teaching us how to do that by not spending
a lot actually but actually resurfacing and just just get smarter than we've done
before our base of experience for us so I just remind people in town that May is my
lot more bikers and walkers
a lot of children on the trail so Michigan people three feet she wear your helmet
your pipe is ability both in and I think the first event is on May first it will be
in the boards with the right everyone is invited to come and shoot people that were
there last year and I'm naming names this will not be somebody I. Know
you've been seeing that is in the gorgeous but Tyrion is going to talk about some
more bigger events you know that we were so right from last November as
a result British are not going to do this right isn't going to do you actually have
to. Not even close if you can't really do encourage everybody is it really
a really really
a lot of you guys to afford to buy really want to see. So I
think surely I can see you know that even with head office. And Internet. Maybe
night that line is medium Lisa. I know because you look
very. The old adage as it is you see you really have three times you have
a very full life and will be doing this you know for ever you know like this you're
saying oh one of our kids if you're
a bit fishy here is our silver celebration there's
a fire in the room I cannot pass it to you oh it is you know we were wounded is
still a very good mission this year
a good ship. A really big deal we were really only still her community and then it
ended seventy and stayed so lucky country the country right into the really going
to have that so I was going to be at the red so I'll probably I was off
before that we have going to work today oh we still have to work right.
Now. We sit there.
And really we are encouraging the system right where we have
a lot of these are some of the kids were just for the price of the work so remember
that people like to work and will buy
a beer or two also still have the whole town is it but to the celebration it's
least recently because it really is explicitly Thank you. Another event.
Here. It is we're watching
a female going to conflict with them is really very exciting because it's
a global event and what it does is
a national movement to get women on bicycles and some of this year the idea here
says very is that having two rides and having
a beginner ride for the writers which is the sloop is rife with. Fifteen long
rides for the experience right now because we really do encourage those new
brightest. Right so that's another event because I saw made and I. Didn't
see. You over events we're going to have is
a slew of easy right yes it's we simply to pose to be sure. The
candidates is really going to look at Monday to twenty nine so you know I can go
through the whole hour and yours but those are really the highlights and also dad
is going to resist and I'm going to make you feel good about our local national by
challenge because this is
a good issue together and there's also something there. Is also really encourages
people to get
a bicycle ride some good would talk about that has little Google or if I was going
. To. Write I mean
encouraging you to write needs to hurry by challenging the is part of the Fourth
Annual National a challenge and

brokerage the trail. They are working with Mr Turner

and probably consist of. Training of the Bush's and overgrown problem
out west now and that which will entrance. And so the more visible and accessible
a lot more creating and destroying the starring the was not on the road and train
speed because the river trail is part of the original central Centrino
a light rail road. In that serial is one creation sign will be constructed straight
out of foam. And clearly rails and counts. So I push through
constructed from sixteen foot reclaim steel rails section and with
a good cross in by this time if you were fired for ever. And.
This site you hear you have on. The side markers of how far they.
Are all.

thousand dollars documents for the release of the screen on the fly to form back in
May May thirtieth two thousand and twelve with the consent of the Board of
Selectmen. Which was
a resolution to fight for the. Act in two thousand and twelve so this is just for.
They should just take some time three years ago to hear that you're now going to
receive
a grant that's what we have with here it doesn't it doesn't need to be done to the
wreckage of the paragraph. On the to thank you. Resolution of
the legislative body and result that we still have her first letter since Very be
here by is authorized to take you on behalf of the time this is
a very grand agreement and the confirmation of public recreation he's meant and
agreement to the open space and Watershed land acquisition program with the state

as the workers' school parcel C. O. S. W.
In
a World War two came to me and said land is open space pursuant to Section seven one
thirty one D.
Of the Connecticut General statutes. Every second second and he questions.
One question Lucian I'm sure you know that's why I'm reading the conservation
easement Yes No building residential drawling structure parking lot driveway road
or other temporary permit structure allowed so we just need to remember that when
we are in the settlements based planning thing one parking lots and sign engine now
up fast so that's absolutely correct thank you and also we are required to erect
a permanent plaque or sign within six months recording the conservation easement
letting the public know that they have access to that there are some requirements
and we will arm in order to accept the grant money we give need to comply with the
requirements of the grant and those were known and appreciated when we were on the
starboard OK thank you for your welcome any other questions all in favor please say
I. Commissioned as it appears now I would ask for
a motion to amend the agenda to consider
a motion to waive the special exception fee for the flower bridge burgers on the
bridge event and sure I will make
a motion to you just seconds thank you. I received
a request from Mr Ferguson then we've got the Treasurer of the fire bridge here
today Mr Mason requesting
a waiver of the special exception fee of two hundred ninety dollars payable to the
town of sins Rafer burgers on the bridge event to be held from four thirty to seven
P.M. On June tenth. Date on June eleventh you have in your packets
a letter I received from Mr Jensen and the application that they filled out with
the zoning commission for the special exception. May I have
a motion to prove the waiver of the fee research just as
a friendly corner burner and if we didn't vote on the amend. The agenda they
say OK all right OK I'm bad I'm a thank you Cheryl I appreciate that something I'm
a. Man have a motion to approve the waiver of
a special exception fee of two hundred ninety dollars payable to the town assumes
very for the purpose on the bridge event to be held from for their use seventeen
tenth range eight June eleventh two thousand and fifteen so my second without any
questions or discussion we did this last year to have yet to be assumed that they
have that they did not pay this fee last year that's correct right OK All in favor
please say I. Think you mentioned assets and Nick I'll let you fall for the good
it's already done with that. We have an update on the senior community center
project and Sean will be giving that update but you know that unless you want to go
up and talk about that I'm going to be. Sure that if companies in your area
help you do that all you've got do you know where we are probably know the ego
stuff will hold weekly It was
a few of the old cars trains gets you since you. Are
scheduled request qualifications where they're due on Thursday we should have those
. Few days such that we. Will be meeting next Wednesday for all I
know just told me earlier that you received
a lot of questions so it's very good. Posts to receive the.
Programming of the work to be unhappy to make sure the program needs are truly fine
for your potential crisis gains again we are looking for your expertise in the
field to make sure the program. Is always easy part of the
design so that we will. You know I said to the aging of his ability to get there
I'm afraid I've heard him think they are the experts in their fields and his system
and we may go out to our to hire consultants I mean that's exactly right which
theory against it is that these both are trying you know this is sort of your son.
And it also tells servicing even hearing about a very have obviously been
a lot better here as it may be to see push always looking great blue research is
this really
a company that last week's going to screen the telephone survey to take place I
don't know was two weeks in May. You're also planning
a community for members of the public members boards commissions can come speak to
other topics other pockets of information they'd like to be considered to be
included in the survey. And so as you know the last survey we do is just make use
of this I mean you've got to beat us all to you know take the temperature on
various issues OK so maybe how we got from five o'clock to six o'clock on May
eleventh when the you know the great world turned Europe just. So I would
be expecting the survey company would be also there just provide some information
about how the survey works not always was what people. And I said it was the course
coming on that encouraging folks to take the call there so what do the color you
will say green blue on it I'm going to say this in spirit as it were but we're
going to call it will begin by saying I'm calling about Thomas and rich and that's
because I'm actually applies to our place that kept identifier our rights how we
had to comply and it's national who gets the interest rate. And so that's pretty
much it we're certain results are very old leave early in the through June time to
get all the parts going here it's your start putting together so that's what I have
kind of the past just now he doesn't have the air pass or the everything Ali why
questions they looked at economic development. Already how government is doing
slowly obviously they're charging it's going to work fine he has to look at issues
like senior center their meetings with open space questions as folks do come up
with the areas that they want covered it just want to emphasize we don't get to
write the questions none of us do we just talk about the areas of information we're
looking for that we get to the extreme questions that weights to the best of luck
to me that's right but also. I was
a good lawyer to turn up for and submit these ideas topics to submit them to the
first lady's office it was just lawyers so to me. To. Read
for you is you're going to have the opportunity going to call in this week or she's
in last week and just not surprised that you could be impressed with the
collaboration and the ideas and times that you're all coming up with you know fast
you're going to need and I know there's
a lot under his plate these are your but I think I think you're all doing
a great job just want to share that information some and I just want to emphasize
town staff job is to facilitate this process for the public so they are they are
sort of the guides to us in the early going to boards and commissions for policy
making is what they are getting as staff. Their job to do is to get all the
information to the public in the press is. After the shots are going this is
a phenomenal amount of work still right scary I know you've been working on this Mr
Turner is there he's been working on this it's
a it's the every almost every department has
a role to play in the selection once it's completed the operation of the building
so very appreciative sounds. Right we're going to fade into resignations now have
a mission to have as
a regular living at the moment task force with an expiration date of December
seventh twenty fifteen or the second all in favor. Motion passes and

personal. I just want to confirm that with the personnel subcommittee did meet this
evening and we continued to look at potential areas that would be incorporated into
a card which our vision commission. Finance I'll just give an update we had said
during the budget process I will be calling the first meeting of the Finance
Committee that I've ever seen in June and will begin discussing capital projects
and how to plan for the future so be in touch with your Shanks I think it's just
you and I and we would also like to wait you'll be working with Mr Me and see me on
that and our town and winner and he's coming to Mr Right yeah I've told you I'm
right and I will say. OK yeah. Economics common task force met
last week and
a couple of items we bring forward to the board for me eleven Canadian. One being
the tax Maidment and infrastructure business and policy so we've got that fairly
well tied up and the other is
a contract with Main Street to undertake the work for the perimeter and is
one I think you know the website group met with the staff. F.
And that's going to come together extremely nicely and everybody understands the
process that needs to be followed and. I also appreciate the appointment of Chris
Parnell because with Eric Strayer off that marketing some committee has
a lot on their plate and Chris has been attending every meeting and she was really
the impetus behind the website work with the E.C.
And so I think having her on board will be extremely helpful for them to see their
work so. Great I have one quick thing from the aging inaudible to sketch three

I'm telling you the right thing are just twenty second and this year they are
changing the focus to focus much more on families in Simsbury with family members
who might be disabled or physically disabled or intellectually disabled. And I

a great great event so be on the lookout for that.
